Michael was previously based in Island Bay,
Wellington, New Zealand, where he established a studio and darkroom in
his basement garage.

"The banner above represents the best
sunset seen in five years, as viewed from the foreshore below the house,
looking south-west across Owhiro Bay towards the South Island of New Zealand.
From near the same point one can look east across Island Bay to the rugged
rocks of Barret Reef and the Pencarrow coastline. That was my inspiration
for adopting the name "Bay Images" for my photographic image business.

I enjoy exploring and interpreting the visual excitement of my home city
of Wellington, the still largely unspoiled natural environment of New
Zealand, and the differing character of people I have met and places where
I have travelled.

I am delighted to be able to share some of my images with you on this
website".
